Drop-In Centre for Youth.
The aim of the Drop-In Centre is to provide a space where young people can engage and interact with other young people, adult leaders / youth workers in a comfortable and safe environment. Membership is voluntary and young people attend as often as they choose.

Objectives

• To be a non-judgmental initiative where all participating young people can have a voice;
  
• To seek to empower local young people and to actively seek to encourage them to participate at all levels within society;
  
• To provide the opportunity for young people to reflect upon their experiences and to further learn from them;
  
• To support young people to recognise their own choices and to act upon them;
  
• To positively challenge young people on issues which affect their lives;
  
• For young people to engage in the process on a voluntary basis;
  
• To be a form of intervention which is needs based and flexible, which centres on the interests of the young people involved and in turn leads to new opportunities and experiences; and
  
• To act as a bridge between the young people and the community in order to facilitate the reintegration of many marginalised young people back into the community.
